A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

From Natural Selection's perspective, that's actually accurate:
NO alternative-that-can-compete is standing & competing against either Leninist-imperialism nor against fascist-imperialism..
( Tibet was extinguished by communist-imperialism, & the communists who pretend otherwise are complicit in such genocides, exactly as the fascists are complicit in their-kind's genocides: "horseshoe" politics is an oversimplification of reality, but it is accurate in identifying that left & right both, when authoritarian, worship their-own totalitarianism. )
Why lie about the relative-noncompetitiveness of the current variations of "democracy" ( representative-republic is 1x removed from democracy, & the US, with its "electoral college", is 2x removed from democracy )?
Making-believing doesn't make one more likely to be alive in 3y time..
is fact.
Either put-in-place a civil-immune-system suppressing disinformation "pathogenic" force, XOR it'll win.
Natural Selection.
